Bella did an amazing job setting things up for us and adjusting to our needs. Our diver from the airport, for a tour of the island, and delivery back to the airport as well as the other drivers, tour guides from Mr. Tu's and the Elephant Sanctuary were exceptional. Mr. Tu's team was especially thoughtful, ensuring everyone stayed hydrated and safe. The team from the Elephant Sanctuary were very courteous and took pictures as needed so those on the adventure could enjoy it to the fullest, even if it felt a little rushed.

Hotel Review
Samui Buri

Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the staff was extremely helpful. The atmosphere of the hotel was quiet and peaceful for a beachside resort, which made the experience more relaxing than the hotels I have stayed at in the past.

Authenticity & Character
It was quiet and peaceful for a resort. The style of the hotel was open air with the rooms being spacious and air conditioned without feeling out of character.
Location
The location is great. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, though it is a bit out of the way and pretty far from the touristy area, so transportation is needed unless you enjoy long walks on the side of the road.
Staff
We didn't interact with most of the staff other than at meals, but the ones we encountered were courteous and motivated to help in whatever manner they could.
Cleanliness & Comfort
As stated above, the room was spacious. It was also very clean and the AC made it a comfortable place to relax after a long day.

This was a great start to snorkeling. There wasn't much to see and the time we got to snorkel was short, but it gave my wife and I the ability to learn how snorkeling is done before we missed out on future snorkeling experiences. The kayaking was great. The hiking was good, but we came to learn that Thailand doesn't really know the difference between ladders and stairs 😂

The snorkeling on this tour was great, with a good amount of reefs and fish to see. Don't expect Great Barrier Reef quality, but it was great to finally see some fish after our first day not seeing anything. The Japanese Garden was a little disappointing, but did not take away from the experience as a whole.

This was a great experience, though it felt a little rushed. Most of the activities were shorter than I thought they would be, though we did do everything I thought we would other than a tour of the sanctuary itself.
